I don’t really have an ism. I’m not well read on any of them tbh, but I think all forms of government are fundamentally unstable just because of human nature. I just want whoever or whatever’s in charge to help people and work towards equality. I think the left generally let’s “perfect” get in the way of “better”, so I try to avoid ism conversations.
Diverse how? I get most of my news from like 5 podcasts and from Lemmy. They’re pretty biased towards the left though. Lemmy is probably the closest to neutral I get.
I have boxes and drawers with vague categories of contents. It works well enough.
I feel this, but for Midnight Club 3
Emojis are for the girls and the homies. Sorry, I don’t know y’all like that.
The UN is struggling financially and this report makes the claim that there’s too many meetings and reports that no one reads. They said their most popular reports get 5000 downloads and 1 in 6 reports gets less than 1000 downloads.
For the entirety of high school I only played Team Fortress 2, League of Legends, and Melee. I have 2000+ hrs in TF2 and probably more in the other two. Then in college I was on the Overwatch team and played in the college league, I have a bit under 5000 hrs in that.
No games I have come close to that kinda play time and none probably will since I have less time to game and I’ve kinda been losing interest in gaming in general.
Coney is a Smash commentator who does reaction videos. He’s mocking these ideas.
I don’t think the general public will walk away caring much no matter what you say. I’m not trying to dismiss your question. Though I can say from personal experience, that an hour isn’t enough time to convince most non-techie people to change their online habits at all.
Most people I’ve talked to about any of those topics essentially already has a vague idea that it’s an issue, but they just kinda shrug since nothing’s happed to them yet and they think its probably too late anyway.
Fair enough, that’s on me then. I’m personally just getting tired of the narrative people keep pushing that the country is full of irredeemable idiots when that doesn’t actually help anything.
I’d argue the country is largely filled with people focused on their own immediate lives and are disengaged from larger national politics and social issues.
To argue that the country must be filled with “emotionally reactive morons” belies your own sense of superiority and also how your perspective is swayed (and possibly harmed) by overconsumption of the very media most people avoid.
The vast majority of people I meet are worried about their families, their bills, their jobs and their futures. Politics obviously affects all of these things, but political media is just straight up bad for your mental health and I can’t blame anyone for checking out.
people usually just say the pre tax price and everyone already knows the sales tax. Sometimes people say the total, but that’s usually for smaller items. For example:
A sandwich from a deli costs like $11 total and that’s what they’d say.
A video game costs 59.99 and people would say it’s $60, but everyone knows it’ll really be like $66.
I use Mlem on my iPhone 11. I don’t use social media on my pc. I haven’t tried any other apps, but I haven’t felt a need to either.
What exactly is there to judge here? There’s almost no context. When I was an English major, this was the process for writing literally any paper. You pick what you want to write about and try to find published articles that support your claims. If you can’t find any, pick something else.
I think for older folks at least it has to do with the chemicals they were exposed to. I’ve met countless men in their 50s who really are just angry all the time and permanently on a hair trigger. Then they fondly talk about the good old days when trucks would gas their blocks with pesticides and they’d chase after them as kids. You also can’t discount the amount lead they were exposed to which is known to make people more aggressive.
Maybe if those ratings came from a movie theater exit poll, then I’d agree. Instead it’s like most other self reported ratings online. Essentially no one enters their rating except for: the people who really liked it, people who really didn’t like it, wannabe critics, weirdos who like to spend their time rating things despite never having seen them, and bots. The vast majority of people don’t rate movies because they don’t care enough. In my opinion ratings are just easily manipulated data that often exists just to reinforce conformity of opinion.
If you look at the ratings for the first “Kissing Booth” movie, there’s tons of reviews that essentially say the lead actress wasn’t hot enough. Then you consider that despite the first movie being rated terribly, the company thought it was actually well enough received for them to make two more movies.
I watched the entire “Kissing Booth” trilogy with a friend recently. They’re cute teen rom-coms and I enjoyed all of the movies and characters. The writing is corny, but it seemed to intentionally have a kind of theater club vibe to me. I kept thinking the cast must have had a lot of fun.
Should it be rated higher? No idea. I think ratings are stupid tbh.
Yeah sorry, I did edit the title from just herpes to genital herpes after like the first two comments. I didn’t want the post to just be all edit notes. I don’t know which type she has and I didn’t initially understand the distinction. I know she has it down there and takes daily antivirals. I think the general information is still useful however because there’s a heavy stigma and the uniformed wouldn’t likely understand the distinctions like me.
Actually more people in my life know about my “intimate preferences” than they know my opinions on what I post online. Everyone wants to know my kinks, but nobody wants to listen to me whine about the government and corpos. smh my head
